Despite going two down early, Villa did us a favour in their last away start, a 2-2 draw with local rivals WBA, ahead of which I wrote ....

Our midweek preview of the Chesterfield-Rochdale match is very pertinent, as it also touches upon Torquay United ....

Fairly quiet week by clubgowi standards, but we are ahead heading into the weekend and on course (knock wood), to record our tenth winning week from the last eleven.

Just two selections today, but I am just finishing off my notes for what seems sure to be four Football League games tomorrow and we are also covering another 3-4 "in running". Sunday it will be all about Brazilian football and the NFL and in total, we should have previews for circa 14 matches/events much like the one for Mexico in the post below.

Tuesday November 12th

Tomorrow looks far and away the most interesting day of the midweek, at least in terms of quality of fixtures,with a full round in Brazil getting underway, I also want to take a look at the DP World Tour Championship golf and one other event and might have to split things over two emails, but will update that in the morning, as usual the next newsletter is due at 10.00 UK time on Wednesday.

Two teams we have discussed a lot this season. The Lions are a club I have always had a bit of a soft spot for (yes I am a little odd) and they did us a favour last week in that home draw with league leaders Burnley, but as we discussed at the time, that is typical Millwall, raising their game against the big clubs at the New Den. On the road they are not quite so imposing and ahead of their trip to Bournemouth early last month I wrote ....

Championship: Millwall - Burnley

Only really Ligue 2 in this email (sent to subscribers this morning), but I will pass on a few words about the Brentford-Shrewsbury Town, League 1 match tomorrow, the Bees are not playing well at present, but have managed to pick up six points in the last week. Coming from 1-0 down early in the second half at home to defeat Colchester United 3-1 last weekend and winning at Bristol City, for whom nothing is going right, 2-1 in midweek.

Norway were very disappointing yesterday and so was the injury time equaliser which Denmark condeded, as that cost us a solid profit on the day, as it was we lost half a unit, no damage done, but frustrating.
